EastEnders’ Honey and Billy Mitchell have attempted to reignite the spark with a dinner date, but advice from Nicola and Alfie Moon diverted the couple’s plans to get intimate.<\/p>\n

Tonight’s episode, airing at the later time of 8.30pm due to the World Cup, saw the pair planning to spend some quality time together as Billy made a reservation at Knight Fusion. As he suggested to Honey that the two of them could continue the party at home after watching the match, she beamed.<\/p>\n

Looking forward to their date, Honey opened up to Nicola, sharing that she would be wearing a “sexy” red dress. <\/p>\n

“I just want to feel desirable again,” Honey said, with Nicola questionably advising her to “act mysterious” and pretend she wasn’t interested in physical intimacy.<\/p>\n

“He’ll be all over you,” Nicola added.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Billy opened up to Alfie at the Queen Vic, explaining that with Honey’s back problems and perimenopause, things had been really quiet in the bedroom.<\/p>\n

Alfie offered a piece of advice, taking a page from his and Kat’s book and suggested that Billy could let Honey initiate sex.<\/p>\n

“Don’t pile on the pressure and let her take the lead,” Alfie said.<\/p>\n

With two contrasting ideas of how to act on the night, Honey and Billy awkwardly readied for their dinner.<\/p>\n

He complimented her on her dress, assuring that he still stood by what he told her on their first meeting, and that she was the “best-looking girl” he’d ever seen.

At the restaurant, Billy got anxious when Honey said they could have dessert at home. Treading carefully so as not to make her feel pressured, and ignoring that she wanted some intimacy as much as him, he told her that sex was “not important”<\/p>\n

However, Billy ultimately ended up leaving Honey feeling disappointed.<\/p>\n

Later on at the store, Honey bumped into Bea Pollard, who saw an opportunity to drive a wedge between her friend and Billy.<\/p>\n

When Honey admitted that Billy went “straight to bed” after England v Croatia, Bea said he didn’t deserve her after he made her feel like “an old sliced-up loaf”.<\/p>\n

As a confused Honey headed home, Bea smiled as she prepared to use the situation to her advantage, tightening the grip she has on the pair.<\/p>\n

Spoilers have revealed that the Walford villain will try her best to split up the fan-favourite couple by publicly claiming that Billy had tried to sleep with her<\/a>. Will Honey believe her?<\/p>\n
